When I woke up in the car the first thing I said was "Where am I?!" My mom said "It was a surprise." When we got there it was 8 O'clock, we got in the car at about 6:10 so we were in the car for 1 hour and 50 minuets so we travelled about 115 miles. My mom told me we were in "Cincinnati Ohio". After we had a tour of the town we went to see the Carew Tower , it was our hotel. I can't believe I was standing in a building over 90 years old! When we checked in and saw our room. My brother Andrew wanted to see the Ohio River it was very cool and we saw tons of boats. The Ohio River was quite greenish in color. When we finished looking at the Ohio River we went to the Cincinnati Reds Ball Park it was huge! And the chairs had the Cincinnati Reds logo! When we stopped looking at the Cincinnati Reds Ball Park it was 9 O'clock, so we went to our hotel the Carew Tower took a shower and went to sleep.

After we woke up we almost instantly and left to Dayton. We got there and we went to the Dayton Air Force Museum it had about a million planes my favorite part of the museum was the rockets they were so tall and skinny. At 12 O'clock we left the museum and went to our hotel, Crown Plaza we checked in and left to go to Einstein's Bagel Co. We got a dozen blueberry bagels they were so good. I suggested to go to the Carlon Historical Park I liked the park a lot. It was 4 O'clock so my family and I went to the Dayton Art Institute my family was amazed by all of the art.

Then went to the Grove Port Historical Village Heritage Museum it was a little boring but still OK. Next we drove to Hocking Hills State Park , we stayed till 9 O'clock and then went to our hotel and slept over night.

The next morning guess what happened? We stayed in Columbus and went to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium I loved how giant the manatees were and I wish I could go to Jacks landing. When we left to go to High Banks Metro Park I found out why they call it High Banks because the banks were so high we left at 9 O'clock and went to sleep.

We drove to lake Eire Industrial Park we could see lake Erie from there lake Erie is gigantic! I felt like something was missing a little science so we went to Cosi Toledo it was very fun!

We got to stay in the bed and sleep and we were going to go to Cleveland. But when I woke in the car. My mom told me we were going to the Garfield James Historical site I thought it was a little to boring to learn about the 20th president. Then we visited the Cleveland Children's Museum . My mom said "You will learn a lot and have a lot of fun!" and she was right!



We left at 5 O'clock but my brother and I begged my parents to stay but finally we left to go home I said "Good bye Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Toledo, Cleveland, Akron and Most of all OHIO!"
